It is narrated from Abu al-Aliyah (may Allah have mercy on him) that when booty came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), he would make it into five parts. He would distribute four parts among those who had taken part in the campaign and would take out the khumus (one-fifth). He would then place his hand on it, and whatever came into it he would dedicate to the Ka'bah, and that was the right of Allah Almighty. Then he would make the remainder into five parts: one part for the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), one part for close relatives, one part for orphans, one part for the poor, and one part for travellers.
